Instructions

Put butter/oil, water, salt, sugar, and vanilla in medium size pot; bring to simmer. Immediately add flour and stir with wooden spoon until a ball forms. Making sure all of the flour has incorporated. Should leave a light film on the bottom of pan.

Crack eggs in a separate bowl. Once pan is cool enough, you can add one or two at a time, incorporating vigorously as you go, OR.. move flour ball to mixer with paddle attachment, turn on to release steam, and incorporate eggs one at a time.

In a large pot or cast iron pan, heat oil to 375. Pipe churros in carefully using a butter knife to swipe dough into oil from piping tip. For a large batch, I will pipe onto a sheet tray and freeze, then fry straight from freezer.

Once golden brown and delicious removed with slotted spoon to paper towel to blot extra oil and then directly into cinn sugar to coat.

Enjoy with whipped cream, coffee, hot chocolate or some chocolate ganache spiced up with orange zest, cinnamon, chile powder, or a dash of Llamacita Yellow or Red sauce.
